Sirens
The Council Surveyor (Mr. H. Thirlwall) reported to a recent meeting of the A.R.P. Committee that permission had not been granted for a siren to be installed at Conisborough Police Station, but it had been agreed that one should be installed at Conanby and a site had been selected.
Permission had not been given for a siren to be installed at Lowfield House, Denaby Main. The Surveyor stated that he had referred the matter to the Superintendent of Police, who was taking the matter up with the authorities concerned.
